Irish Dancing Flashmob in Essex by Aer Lingus Regional and London Southend Airport 

Suzanne Darroch for me it’s the total opposite: I am able to do it but do not love what I do as my parents forced me to.....just kidding, all lies

Take it up it’s easy - tap tapity tap repeat and you don’t even have to think about the top half. What’s more you can annoy the hell out of the neighbours with all that god awful diddly diddly music.

-Tracey - Well it makes a change from bombing British shopping centres -

@@strontiumstargazer3124 *troll detected* Do you go to all Irish vids and spew your crap? Is that all you have yo say? Sad.

-Tracey - Trolling - have you managed to write a single posting without a personal attack?

Amen to that. Been a long, long 6 months. I love to watch flashmobs. I'm 70, but still enjoy watching ppl have such enthusiasm. Too bad some young people can't enjoy it as much. Not ALL, but many.

I was thinking the same thing. We used to have flash mobs where people would come together to do something fun and wonderful. Now we have a crazy virus, shut downs and lock downs, people losing their jobs, their businesses and their minds, protests, riots and lootings and the destruction of statues and cities. How did we get here and how do we get back to a more peaceful and more joyful society??? It's just sad!

Yup, I'm thinking about finally joining that Irish dance class my uni offers. I wanted to join earlier this year, but they only offer advanced classes during the breaks and before I could join for the semester, Corona hit and ruined all of my plans of finally finding a hobby I like.

Agreed!🎶 💃💕

@lightheart53 - I fully agree.

Your wee granny is with u always

Awe?

That's brilliant ✅🥰🇮🇪🇮🇪💃 x

Irish eye's always smile on.... Peace be with you both...

It’s in our blood. The Irish have a special connection with both music and dancing. Never forget that she is with you. She might be gone physically, but her spirit lives in you. There she can never suffer.

👍👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

@@tomthumb3500 they are just Brilliant dancers.up air lingius.

@@tomthumb3500 great stuff.

Also u P P

I loved it.

They're in an airport, there's no telling how many of them have already had their luggage lost, flights overbooked or delayed, etc.

reorourke Actually they're in a shopping centre. Still a good reason to be depressed though.

Hmm you're right about that one Jez, they must have linked the wrong video to the article I was reading. I did think it was a rather odd looking airport! When I got your reply I checked it out, and there is another video for the Irish flash mob at the Shannon airport, and I saw the people actually happier at the airport than at the mall!

***** Hi... don´t care about bad mood of some people! This flashmob was nice!

this is a serious competitive sport in many countries. Great stuff!

"their"

Fair play to you come on Ireland what a great count we have bless you 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

So do I. Great! Love it!

Dixie May Did it please you to point that typo out to Michael? Is that your life’s purpose? How sad.

Sredni Vashtar I don’t give a shit what you were going to do. You’re no one to me. So slither back into troll land. Blow that out of YOUR arse.

*Hello from Dublin* I’m so sorry for your loss Eric, but I will say a prayer for her tonight as I sit outside on my balcony, watching the stars and moonlight over Dublin.

Why would they? I don't grin when watching something I enjoy.

@@lennydale92 I'm always at least visually amused, like someone can tell when I am interested in something. The crowd looks like they are watching paint dry lol

@@Kenshi9000GamingChannel Well unless they were forced by gunpoint to stay I am sure they were free to leave if they didn't like the dancing.

I sing with a renowned Welsh male voice choir and to large audiences. Some of our audience smile, some silently sing along and some look serious. I was smiling all the way through this performance. It was brilliant! It was the hard work and love for the music and their dancing which showed.

I suppose the emotional response would come from the Irish and the Scottish. For the others it's just something curious.

Agreed ...she is amazing !

they got them spring loaded shoes

I thought so too. That's why they never have to worry about a weight problem. I was exhausted watching that first young lady. Beautiful show.

Adrenaline

AND they're dancing on a stone floor! Brutal on the knees and ankles.

You should come over .You have a great time🎉

@@dazza9859 I just realized I'd told a lie. I had technically been to Ireland in the early 2000's. Because of a medical emergency, our plane had to make an unscheduled landing at Shannon. It was raining like cats and dogs, and the passengers were restricted to the airport anyway.

@@deanronson6331 Yep - the rain is the clue there! 😄I've lived here for 22 years and in fairness the rain is the only downside! Make the trip - you won't regret it.

TheMischief9..Thank you for your kind words.

Irish and native Americans have very strong connections throughout history

I'm English and black and White and Cherokee and Irish so nice to meet you

I am a Pickle. And a Radish. I feel I am useful.

@@MyDuxy I'm Irish too

How could anyone give it a thumbs down, you ask? Because there are some people in this world that have nothing better to than to spread their negativity. Sad, really. Performance was adorable and highly spirited! A pleasure to watch☺❤🦋

They are jealous

no souls, sad

Forgive them, for they dinna know up frae doun.

That's all the people that can't dance they give thumbs down

Is not the best of the world, you forgot THE MEXICAN MUSIC!!!

Best drinking music for sure! 😉💖

Yes, finally someone that understands me!

Variety is the spice of life. Enjoy. ❤️

I love it. I did step dancing as a kid❤️. ❤️❤️❤️

And the black girl that joins around 3:00 is a pro!!! What a star!!!

Never gets old. ❤️

South African and I ENJOY watching and listening to Irish music too 🇿🇦🥰

I had to quit when age and drama dissolved my dance group. I miss it so much it hurts.

She eats lots of Irish potatoes

I wondered that too.

@@user-ci1kz1cc6t I noticed that she was a lot faster and better than everyone else and figured she is probably the instructor.

@@dominickhomeyer9440 Maybe.

Can you imagine how good these kids can/will be when they hit 20 years old :)

Same here I have Irish and German in my family history I fell in Love with Celtic Woman, musical and German music , one proud American

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BWgMWeMfoc4.html

So I’m not the only one! I just think it’s fantastic.

Oh how I would enjoy seeing this in person!! That would be AMAZING!!!! SO MUCH TALENT AND ENERGY!!!!

Seeing young people like this with such a passion, which requires so much hard work, so much training. We’re not used to that here. We’re used to overly stimulated kids who care more about being Called the correct gender pronoun, then in doing something meaningful. That’s why, as a proud Irishman, I welled up also.

@@TampaJohn: Good for you, for you are a real person.

Me too - absolutely _joyous_ to watch.

Federica Papapietro Italian? Do you know Bianca Locatelli? You must see her - and her partner Nils (Swede). They are ... there are no words to describe these both wonderful dancers !

​@@Olguinioh, wow! I do not know them! Thanks for this info!

@@federicapapapietro6164 I am very happy because you are interested in them I think you will find the both online. The videos from both are VERY good!! Superlative!! Later she is no more with the swede but with another man. I do not why...

@@Olguini maybe they split up? Or maybe he decided to retire or change job? Anyway, plaude to you for responding after all these years 👏🏻

@@federicapapapietro6164 It is very important!!! You will see why if / when you look those sweet, crazy super dancers!! :-)))

@Craig Schultz couldn't they have at least smiled? They looked bored out of their minds. The kids worked their butts off to entertain the crowd.

Me too and cheering them on!!

@@sharondunn7390 Yeah well who really cares

@Olaf Weinzer - Absolutely!

Yip! They always are!

Who & why

Loved, loved, love Riverdance.

Shut up ur making me feel old lol

And their energy just blows me away!

I am Scott and l love this.

Eloquently put

How can you be 10% Irish I’m guessing your American

Same except im more irish

I'm 3.625% Irish on my landlord's side.

@@matbroomfield I Like it 👍🏻

Really? Proud?

@@matbroomfield Yeah, proud. Imagine that? Troll.

@@TampaJohn No, not trolling at all. I simply don't understand ANY national pride. It's not like you DID anything to merit personal pride any more than I've done anything to merit pride in Britain. The fact that a bunch of talented young people can perform an Irish dance in a mall hardly seems like reason enough, especially as you don't even LIVE in Ireland if your name is anything to go by. But no problem. If this makes you feel a sense nationalistic pride, feel free.

@@matbroomfield The great thing is that you don’t need to understand. It’s not about you. And it’s not about what I did, it’s a pride that builds when I see Irish people do good things. I still have many relatives over there. More than I ever knew and that pride inside of me is very strong. I’m going to take you at your word that you’re not trolling. That being said, that’s why I have pride in my heritage.

@@TampaJohn I realise it's not about me, but when you make a post like that in a public forum, you invite comment. I descended from people in Wales, Italy, and I have a touch of native American blood. I feel zero connection to any of them, far less pride. I recently discovered I have close family in Texas - with one exception, I not only don't feel close, I actively dislike them. So it always interests me when I hear people express nationalistic pride. It especially interests when I hear Americans express pride for a country they've never lived in even though they could, particularly Ireland or Scotland - nations most of them are many generations removed from. o you feel a greater affinity for Ireland than America? Do you look at Ireland as the "home country?" Or is perhaps the novelty of heritage that goes back further than a few hundred years? I can certainly understand historical fascination. I am surrounded by castles and ancient buildings.

Religion has nothing to do with it pal. We are all from the one race. ❤

Not fond of it. I'm English.

This performance was in a shopping mall not an airport.

Doesn’t matter, for the love of the Irish we all need to kick our toes! And it’s a lucky day when we see the young people having a go!

Only this isnt an airport....its a shopping centre in England

Most English people are not big on expressing themselves in public situations. It doesn't mean they don't appreciate what they're watching.

I'm trying to concentrate on the dancing while I'm watching, so I'm not smiling. I'm fascinated and definitely enjoying, but I'm focused. This is a pay attention performance. Not a sit back, relax, and enjoy with your eyes closed. I don't think it matters what Nationality you are, but I am also American. Many of them are also recording it with ther phones.

Appears they are watching ice melt

Exactly!!!

Lovely story 💕

As an Irishman all flash mobs are wonderful.

Ya me too...!!

@@nyctophiliac4354 It's so boring. The whites have no culture or history

@@channelfive7883 shut the fuck up! You sound stupid asf!

Me too!!! He was like "Hey I can do that." I'm 60 and American and I think to myself "These are some cool kids."

My Great, Great ... some level ... was Susan Laury from Dublin. Met and married John Wilson from Stockholm in NYC in the 1600s - he never learned Gaelic, she never learned Swedish - but they had 11 kids and now a dynasty of hundreds of descendants. Erin go bragh !!

They live in Essex!! What have they got to smile about????

Here in Ohio, the Brits are well-known for having no displays of affection. Oct '19

heck No Smiling, of itself, is not the indicator of enjoyment.

Sheila Prater Where is Ohio?

Because there in London what do they know lol

I will keep this in mind!

We need it desperately, as a physically challenged older lady l will do what l can!🥰🥰😷🇨🇦

Why only one... What we'd need is a fm hour each day!!!

Flash mob dayyyyy

@@JC-qw1dm I would watch! 🙏

Morris Dancing is more reflective of English culture.

Because all Irish dancing looks the same. They've seen it all before. Different tune, same dance. Its only tourists who like this repetitive crap.

Cos the English can't smile r dance

its because they are Brittish. (but later, many people WERE smiling) and yes, the dancing was wonderful.

It is at a shopping centre right? They are tired and their feet hurt.

English have no class.

Where do you think country music got some of its influence from?

Well partner, next time you successfully snub a bronc, chew on some snuff, turn on some jig n enjoy the craic

Wearing a hat doesn't make you a cowboy.
